    Raw Proteins
    Sam Y.

    I had tried them a while back and didn't have the chance to go back until I was invited for by fellow Yelper Andie with other fellow Yelpers. She made a reservation for us, so we got to sit together on a long table, which had two grills/pots. They have quite the variety of meats, seafood, veggies, carbs and desserts for you to pick and choose. Some of the proteins have marinated versions, which changes it up a bit. Of course, you can make your own dipping sauce. Most of the meats are best on the grill, while most of the seafoods are best in the hotpot (or maybe hot pot then grilled? will have to try next time). The veggies are great anywhere, though you maybe need to cut up some of the veggies (like the broccoli) to fit in the hot pot. The desserts change seasonally, besides the shaved ice. I do enjoy the Mango with Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice, but that is seasonal (mango season). The service is attentive and helpful. They changed out the grill for us a couple times, and cleared away out empty plates. At $39.98/person for all the food, it is definitely worth it for the variety and quality of ingredients. I will have to frequent this place more often!

    This was my first visit to a Thai BBQ & Hot Pot restaurant. A warm round of applause goes to Yelp Elite Andie for arranging this spectacular UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event), held on the evening of 3/29/2026. Andie made a reservation for 8 people, and the hostess told us that we could not be seated until everybody was present. There is a large buffet where you can grab your own food to cook. There were many different cuts of steak, and the quality of the meats, seafood, poultry and vegetables was average. The server, Pui, was super attentive, habitually replenishing water and soft drinks; and replacing used grills. The sauces that I used to marinade the food were unique and powerfully seasoned. The seafood and tamarind sauces were tasty, but the Thai-style BBQ sauce was the winner, hands down! The marinated short ribs of beef stole the show because I had multiple servings of them. They were so tender and tasty. I put some lobster balls, butternut squash and fresh shrimp (with the head on) in the flavorful hot pot broth and had one tasty soup. I was disappointed that there was no mango sticky rice for dessert. What is a Thai restaurant without one?, but the dessert is out of season. I had some chocolate cake and cantaloupe chunks instead. The place has a nice atmosphere, but the ventilation is poor, so you will walk out of the restaurant smelling like BBQ. Nevertheless, I recommend it for a fun time out with friends and family.

    Wow! Just wow! On 3/29 I joined about 7 elites at this restaurant. It's like I'm dressed to play football but I'm on a baseball field. I was so lost. No one told me the set up so we go in and set at this wooden booth with a grilling unit in the middle. I asked one worker what the set up and he says meats are there and cooked food are here. OKAY! So that didn't register with me. I saw one person in my party member walking with raw steak. I'm like, hmm he might like his food this way. I go over to the buffet where the meats are, everything is raw. So I follow suite and thought that the employees at the restaurant were going to cook it. Little to my surprise, I learned that we cooked our own food. So a bunch of elites sitting in harmony, talking and I see people put food on the grill, one person in our party started manning the grille. We all gathered meat and vegetables to put our food there and we all shared. There was no that's mine, it was all sharable. Silly me, I didn't know that it was a hot pot ( whatever that is) and I put shrimp on the grill. I later learned that I could place my shrimp in the water that incompassed the grille, allowing for boiled shrimp. I tried the lamb, chicken, satay chicken, shrimp, and cod along with the vegetables. The lamb and satay chicken were my favorite. As we are going on with grilling. Eating, talking, I eased up to get more lamb and returned. Someone took meat off of the grill and someone else says " we need more meat". Say less+ I presented the lamb that I eased up to get. We just laughed and had a great time. I can't complain about the food because we cooked it, and the service was pretty good. The great part is, we had 190 minutes and we weren't rushed as time drew near. I sat and talked with familiar elites. I'd love to come again, this gathering was so much fun and very interesting. Inspire more, Yelp more!

    Finale... our bellies are full.

    Where can you find a place that has the grill and hot pot at the same table? 90 minutes of all you can eat (acye) for $39.98 + tax per person. Beverages are extra including beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks. Too much leftover has a charge as per website. Servers are great. They come to replace your grill when it's grill needs to be changed, which is pretty frequent. This is not 2 separate items, 1 tabletop - 2 functions! This is ingenious especially for those days when you don't know what you want to eat. Grill on the metal plate; boil in the chicken broth for hot pot. Between grilling the various types of meats, seafood, and vegetables or boiling the vegetables, noodles, and items. There are a good number of choices, that you don't get overwhelmed but it's not limiting. Let's not forget the sauces at the end of the options. At the end, there is some cooked food items and huge rice cookers containing rice. There are desserts too. Fruits including orange and cantaloupe, shaved ice with syrups, various cakes, and ice cream. Unfortunately, no mango sticky rice when I came the second day. Though, it's also not mango season neither. You have to go try this place if you want grill and hot pot at a reasonable price.

    Went to Boon Dee on a Saturday night with friends and it was the perfect spot for our group of 6! We had a 5:30pm reservation, which I recommend to do and to come earlier if you can since it gets very busy by 6:30 onwards. Great choice of hot appetizers (chive pancakes, fried eggs, garlic rice, tom yum soup, crab rangoons, etc) to choose from while your hot pot or BBQ meats cook. Mainly got the beef short ribs to cook; other marinated meats were fine but highly preferred their short rib on the grill. Dessert wise, don't skip or on their shaved ice! They used to have mango sticky rice available as well, but not sure if it's no longer available or just not in season. FYI drinks not included here, but I do like the thai iced tea. Tastes good, and you get quite a bit for $5. Service here was amazing! Staff were so friendly and accommodated us by consistently changing the grills or adding hot pot broth. If you've never tried Thai style bbq and hot pot, this is a great change of pace from other BBQ spots with some great food options.

    Fourth time coming to Boon Dee. We went on a Saturday night and luckily we had a reservation for 6 people because it was PACKED. We had a reservation for 5:30pm and already there was a line to get in, so highly recommend making a reservation especially during peak times. Service was excellent, our waiter was very nice and checked in with us. Brought us our drinks and refilled very quick, especially when we needed napkins. Gets packed inside with kind of tight aisles and a ton of people walking through. Luckily they constantly refill the meats and food so there was plenty to go around. Definitely recommend getting the hot food and building a garlic rice bowl with the ground pork and fried egg. Then get the sweet soy sauce to top it which is in the opposite side of the bbq sauces. Only street parking but if you go down a block or two, there's plenty.

    Appetizer section

    Came here for Father's Day and didn't really know what to expect other than it being both hot pot and bbq for $40 per person. That plus my friend had came here and boasted about the freshness of their seafood protein. We had a reservation for a party of 10 and was seated promptly. So basically there is a large ring which patrons can use for grilling and around the ring, there is almost like a moat like structure which acts as the vehicle for the hotpot. So our waitress poured hot water broth onto the outer ring and you can drop in whatever hot pot related items you like. The selections for bbq is plenty ranging from marinated beef short ribs to cumin lamb to fresh fish filet and headed shrimps. The waitress would regularly come and replace the grill plate so it doesn't stay continuously charred...which was a nice touch. There is also an appetizer section where you can get garlic fried rice, Thai minced meat, chicken wings, fried eggs, etc. Their desserts offer a variety of individually sliced cakes, ice cream, and also you can make your own shaved ice. Great thing about this place is you can walk up get grab as much proteins as you want so there is zero wait when it comes to that. All in all, very interesting experience and if you go, be prepared to feast more on bbq grilling than hot pot. Lastly for a party of 10 ppl, they applied a service tip of 20% on your bill. Based on this visit, I would recommend.

    This Thai restaurant is an amazing spot for AYCE BBQ AND hotpot. Located in Flushing, it is a bit far from the city, but if you're in the area, I highly recommend. Everything here is self-serve but the staff is super attentive with water and quick with drinks and changing grills. They have a good variety of meats, fresh veggies, and a hot bar here (with a diverse array of Thai hot foods, such as pad kra pao, tom yum, and fried foods). I loved their hot bar and everything was pretty good quality. I got multiple bowls of their tom yum as it was full of mushroom and shrimps, which I loved. Their wide selection of meats and seafood was great. While I did feel that some meat quality was so-so, everything was (overall) pretty solid. They also have a dessert section at the end where you can get shaved ice and smores (for your grill). Great meals and I had such a good time!

    I liked this Thai BBQ/Hot Pot restaurant so much the first time, that I just hosted an Unofficial Yelp Event (UYE) here for 8 ppl. For some, they were happy for a return visit, and for others, it was their very first time here! Everyone had a great time and wowww, we ate so much!!! Haha. Shout-out to my fellow Yelp Elites! Thanks for coming! At $39.98 per person for both BBQ AND Hot Pot, this was a bargain! (Most other places will charge you an upcharge for having both options). They also have a separate drink menu for an extra charge. Boon Dee has soooo much to offer! There is literally something for everyone's palette; kids included! The many food bars offer SOOOO many choices: -- Hot Appetizer Bar: precooked Thai dishes and appetizers. Some items were better than others. I tend to go for the Thai dishes, which are terrific. But don't fill up here! Save room for the actual BBQ and Hot Pot! -- Meats (large variety of beef, pork, lamb, chicken)...lots of marinated and non-marinated meats for your BBQ and/or Hot Pot. My faves are always the short ribs, Galbi and lamb. -- Seafood (fish fillet, shrimp, squid, lobster balls, fish balls)...the fish fillet is fantastic for your hot pot but not so much on the grill, as it sticks to the grill. The marinated squid is great also (for both the grill and hot pot). -- Veggies (mushroom, cabbage, bok choy, carrots, cilantro, pumpkin, and much more)...fresh veggies; great for grill and/or hot pot! -- Noodles (about 3 different types of noodles)...great for hot pot but don't fill up on noodles! Let's be real: you're here for the meats!! lol -- Plus so much more that I honestly can't even remember -- Desserts (varies from day to day): there's a separate fridge/freezer full of desserts (a variety of sliced cakes, s'mores, mango sticky rice, fresh fruits, and ice creams), as well as a Thai Shaved Ice Station. As full as you probably are after all the food, there's always room for a little dessert!!! Hahaha Hot Pot: Full disclosure: In general, I'm not really a soup person and rarely go for Hot Pot. BUT, I have to say that the chicken broth they use for their hot pot (which is actually a moat surrounding your BBQ grill - see my photos), was fantastic!! I made a point to ask what kind of broth this was and they said it was chicken broth made with lots and lots of veggies. The soup was very tasty. I was impressed! Add your pickings from the food bars (I picked mushrooms, veggies, fish & squid), and you end up with a great soup! I really enjoyed this even though I'm not a soup person. lol Don't sleep in the sauce bars! There are soooo many sauces and seasonings, but you should peruse all the sauce before picking the ones you want! Pick a few and explore all the different flavors! Ventilation was not as bad as some other BBQ places but still, you WILL leave there smelling like food! **(Pro-tip: bring a large trash bag for your coats and jackets, so your coats won't smell like BBQ when you leave). Customer service and hospitality were great! Pui and her staff really took care of us; replenishing our hot pot broth, water glasses, changing our grills often, and clearing our dirty plates often. Attentive service with a smile! Parking: street parking only but very doable! I've never had a hard time finding parking close by. Looking forward to another return visit! Kudos to Pui and her entire staff!

    I saw Boo Dee Moo Ka Ta on TikTok and immediately added it to my list. It was my first time trying Thai BBQ, so I was pretty excited going in. The space itself is really nice and much bigger than I expected. We came around 6 pm on a Friday and it was still fairly quiet, but it definitely filled up as the night went on. As for the food, the selection is on the smaller side. The cooked dishes looked like they had been sitting out for a bit, although they were refreshed pretty often. The hot pot section did not have a huge variety, but the broth was surprisingly good. It tasted like a light chicken broth and worked really well with the tofu and tofu skin. The BBQ selection was better than I expected. My only small complaint is that the plates you use to carry food back are tiny, so I ended up making way too many trips just to try everything. I really liked that they had premade sauces ready to go. More hot pot and BBQ places should do that!!!! Service here was honestly excellent. Everyone was friendly, and staff were constantly walking around clearing plates without us having to ask. Overall, Boo Dee Moo Ka Ta was a really fun first Thai BBQ experience. It is not the best all you can eat BBQ I have ever had, but it is definitely worth trying at least once. I just wish it were closer, because it probably is not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit from Brooklyn.

    Great selection of meats and veggies. The grill + hotpot set up is great. You get to do it in one package. I loved the marinated meats. Can be eaten without any sauce, but with house bbq sauce, it's even better Interior is very clean and spacious between tables Staff were super friendly and very attentive to our grilling / soup refills without having to ask Overall, great place to eat and for the experience

    You can grill and boil food at the same time

    After attending a Yelp event here I was waiting for a chance to bring the whole family. I waited for my son to return for Spring Break and had the whole family there for dinner. This unique all you can eat restaurant has both a grill and a hot pot so you can simultaneously grill and boil your food. We arrived at 5:30 for dinner and it was not crowded. As the night went on it started filling up. There's not a lot of tables that can handle large groups. The normal seating seems to be about 2-6 people. A larger group of about 12 people came and took one of the larger booths later that evening. The place is great. It had a hot appetizer bar with scallion pancakes, wings, fries, tom yum soup, and others assorted fried foods. There's rice for anyone who wants it. In the middle there is an area to get all sorts of meats and vegetables. They have a pretty good variety of assorted meats including ribs, pork belly, steak, and lamb. They have seafood like fish, shrimp, and squid. There's all sorts of vegetbles like broccoli and watercress as well as some noodles. They have a sauce bar with unique offerings like tamarind sauce, my favorite. You can grill the food or throw it into the soup that surrounds the grill. The only downside is you can't pick your own broth. The staff is pretty attentive, changing the grill when it gets too charred or removing empty plates. The best part is the variety of desserts they have afterwards. Sure there's ice cream but they also have shaved ice you can custom make yourself, a grill your own smores, and assorted cakes. My husband said that it was the first time at a buffet that he didn't feel disgustingly full but still didn't feel ripped off. There is a 90 minute time limit so use it wisely.

    All you can eat thai style bbq with a side of hotpot. Place looks pretty clean and meats and veggies are fresh. You get one grill per table and the grill has a border filled with water to cook your food like a hotpot. This concept is sort of different from korean bbq and it works. Love they have lot of veggies, mushrooms and not meats to put into the hotpot. You can choose from many meat cuts to put on the grill. Sauce station has some thai taste to it, and worked with the meats. Service good and was not crowded when we went and there was never a rush to leave even though the time limit was announced in the beginning.

    Love this place, small little cute spot. Food is always…read morefresh and tasty, the crispy duck is always my go to, tried the spicy clams for the first time and let me tell you. Excellent restaurant. Service with a smile all time. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. It's not my first time here and definitely won't be the last.

    The restaurant was pretty packed for a weekday lunch, and the service was friendly and welcoming…read more Unfortunately, the kitchen was a bit slow, and I think we simply ordered the wrong dishes. My mother ordered the chicken noodle soup with chicken broth, but it was disappointingly flavorless. Even worse, the chicken was incredibly tough. I ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup and, despite having other protein options, chose the chicken because the photo made it look delicious. Boy, was that a mistake. The chicken in my dish wasn't quite as tough as my mother's, likely because the meat was added afterward rather than cooked in the broth from the start. Still, it was far from tender. To their credit, they were extremely generous with the portion of meat, but my mother's chicken was tough as nails. I'm giving this place three stars because I genuinely think our choices didn't showcase the restaurant at its best. A couple of days later, I ordered the duck salad and drunken noodles for takeout, and both dishes were actually quite good. Based on that experience, I'd definitely be willing to give them another try and explore more of the menu.

    Staff were super friendly and accommodating! The food was delicious. I was craving crab rangoons…read moreand was so excited to see it on the menu. Only the zabb wings were a little disappointing. They were packed with flavor from the spices but the chicken itself was very fried and dry. It still tasted good but would have preferred it to be more juicy.

    Finally tried Thai Social! I always pass by this restaurant on my way from Queens to Long Island…read moreand vice versa. The place always seem popping with its chic outdoor dining area. The neighborhood is quite diverse with the types of stores and cuisines for the restaurants in the area so I was not sure if it would be authentic Thai food or not. The restaurant is located on a big street where several bus lines run, but it is very easy to find parking in the residential areas nearby. I came on a Tuesday evening and was able to find free parking directly in front after 7 pm. The location is Oakland Gardens which is a perfect in between Fresh Meadows and Bayside area. My friend and I decided to come here before our movie at AMC theatres. The place is quite small and they do accept reservations so I highly recommend making one. Amongst the 6 of us, we shared 4 appetizers and we each got our own entrees. It was the perfect amount of food. For appetizers, we ordered the zaab Chicken wings (4 pieces), chicken skewers (4 sticks), curry puff (3 pieces), and the fried calamari. The zaab Chicken wings are a perfect Thai Chile lime dried rub that is so delicious! I was reluctant to order the chicken skewers, but my friend really wanted to try. I was shocked! It was on par with my favorite chicken Satay from my favorite Malay restaurant. Perfectly tender with the perfect peanut dipping sauce. The curry puff is very good as well with a perfect amount of curry spice and potatoes filling. The fried calamari was decent - no complaints! As for entrees, we all ordered something a bit different. I was in between 4 different entrees and I'm glad my friends ended up ordering some of it so I got to try. The pad Thai, pad see ew, and crab fried rice are standard with full flavors. The basil fried rice was very smokey and good. The tom yum Noodle Soup is also very flavorful with lots of char Siew type of meat and ramen type noodle. Lastly, we were all pretty stuffed but we wanted to try the mango sticky rice so we shared amongst the 6 of us. It is a seasonal item (usually summer) and the rice comes in a beautiful butterfly pea purple-blue color. The mangoes are perfectly riped with a rice crunch and coconut drizzle. It was so good! And forgot to mention - we did order the Thai iced tea and it met my expectations (especially when I asked for less milk!) The Thai iced coffee has an interesting chocolatey after taste to it. My friends liked that it was strong. Would definitely be back if I'm craving some Thai Food!

    NYC's Most Beautiful Thai Food!…read more Back at one of my favorite Thai spots, where every dish is as stunning as it is delicious. From the beautiful presentation to the bold, authentic Thai flavors, every plate was thoughtfully crafted and packed with flavor. It's one of those meals that makes you pause before taking the first bite--and every dish delivered. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG, Tiktok and RedNote for more great finds.

    When in Bangkok was a spot I found online while visiting, and it looked so good that I had to give…read moreit a try. They are dog-friendly and offer outdoor seating, which was a huge plus. The waitstaff was very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. We started with the oysters, and the condiments served with them were different from the usual ones you typically get. They were absolutely amazing and added a unique touch. For the main dishes, we ordered the chicken pineapple fried rice and the fried pork belly appetizer. Everything was solid, especially the cocktails, which were refreshing and well-made. We ended the meal with the roti dessert, which was definitely unique and a great way to finish the meal. You do have to go inside to use the restroom, which gives you a chance to appreciate the beautiful modern decor. Overall, When in Bangkok is easily one of my favorite Thai restaurants of all time, and I would definitely come back.

    I'm surprised I never wrote about this place since I frequent it quite a bit. This is probably the…read morefirst halal Thai restaurant I've come across, so I very much appreciate that. I really like the quality of the food here. It's comparable to some good authentic thai restaurants in the city. I ordered my items through Doordash (2 buck delivery fee, not bad): Chicken curry puff pastry- I love these. By far my favorite appetizer! They also give a condiment to go with it, which I didn't really like (it's like pepper, onions, etc. in diluted water or something??) Pad Kee Mao- I've ordered this in the past. It is definitely good BUT as some reviews mentioned, they do skimp on ingredients. In this case, it was the rice noodle itself: Way too many veggies Pad Thai- I had the chicken pad Thai. It's very good and the proportions are big. The chicken part isn't anything special but they don't charge you more for it, so might as well have it. Chicken thai fried rice- it's pretty good but I've seen other places have more flavor. Again, chicken isn't a deal breaker here but it won't set youck or anything from ordering it. I kind of wish they gave soy sauce or hot sauce as a condiment. The rice alone wasn't really doing it for me. I think it's worth noting that this may be one of the first (and probably only ) halal thai for miles. Anyways, support your local business by helping this unique halal joint.

    I ordered pad thai and curry puffs from door dash…read more The curry puffs were pretty good just a tad bit oily. The pad thai did not taste like pad thai at all not well seasoned or peanutty. The chicken was very over cooked and dry. Won't be ordering from here again anytime soon.

    Food was delicious. Unfortunately the server was not very helpful. Drinks are good but expensive.read more

    Absolutely disgusted with my experience at Dallas BBQ in Jamaica, Queens. The service was horrible…read morefrom start to finish. Our server, Patricio, came once to take the order and basically disappeared for the rest of the night. Drinks were dropped off, then a food runner brought the food, but nobody ever checked on the table again. We had to sit there with no extra napkins, no share plates, and no table touch whatsoever. To make matters even worse, there were ROACHES. Not one... but multiple. We personally saw two roaches near our table, and the table next to us literally asked to be moved because they were also dealing with roaches on their side. That is beyond unacceptable and honestly a health concern. Meanwhile, there were dirty tables sitting around, servers standing around chatting, and the entire restaurant felt filthy and poorly managed. Even the bathroom smelled terrible. What really irritated me was that after providing almost no service, Patricio still circled and hinted toward a tip on the receipt. Tipping is supposed to reflect good service, not guilt or pressure after neglecting your table the entire night. I told my partner not to leave a tip because honestly the service did not deserve one, but he felt bad and still tipped anyway. I usually LOVE Dallas BBQ, especially the Upper East Side location, but this Jamaica location is an absolute disaster. Clean the place up. Nobody should be paying to eat in a dirty, roach-filled restaurant with inattentive staff. I will never come back to this hole in the wall again. I also have videos/photos of the bugs and receipt from the visit.
